I get ya, but you get used to it if you live in such a place long enough. Just conditioning, I guess.
A word of advice... If you're ever visiting a country where they drive on the left, look BOTH ways before stepping off the curb. I once got hit by a passing car in London because I instinctively looked to the left as I was stepping into an intersection. I never saw the car coming from the right.
I was in London exactly eight hours on a layover back in 1990.
Went to Piccadilly, took a Bus Tour, hit a Pub and then back to the Airport. Come to think of it, I had a bite at a Taco Bell, couldn’t stomach the English Food they served at the Pub. I’m a real Anthony Bourdain, NOT.
I will heed your advice should I ever return there, which isn’t likely with the Muzzie takeover of the Once Great Britian.
Vacation destination choices are getting very slim nowadays.
Good point. I was nearly hit by a delivery van in London for the same reason. Glad I couldn’t understand what the driver shouted.
It works the other way, too. I remember reading somewhere that Winston Churchill was hit by a car because he looked the wrong way as he started to cross a street. I think it happened in New York shortly after WWII, but I’m not certain, and I don’t have the book around.
